The Circus Spectacular

My sweet friend Amber, who I teach with, gave us tickets to the Circus Spectacular at the Dallas Stars Center in Frisco. We met Danielle, Jason, and Jaden there to watch the fun! It was a mini Barnum and Bailey circus show. We all had a great time. Blake and Brooklyn got to ride an elephant before the show started, and Brooklyn got to ride a pony during the intermission. We ended the night with a visit to Double Dip (my absolute FAVORITE place!!!!!) for some custard. What a great day!!!!!

Football Kickoff

Friday night was the football kickoff for flag football. They introduced each team and the teams all got to do a touchdown dance on the stage. Guess who the main dancer was for Blake's team? YEP, Blake, of course. He got up there and shook his tailfeather! I was cracking up. I have to say I was a little pleased! Those dance parties are paying off. Former Dallas Cowboy player Marco Rivera was also there to give the boys a pep talk to start the season off great. At the end of his speech, Marco gave his jersey to Taylor Storch's little brother, who also plays flag football. It was such a sweet moment! My heart still aches for that family!



We are off and running with the football season. I didn't get any pictures from the first game on Saturday, but Blake did catch a touchdown pass to make the first touchdown of the season for his team. Gotta love having an athletic son!

Little Miss Priss had to have her fun with her friends too at the kickoff party!

We are officially TOOTHLESS!

Getting ready to get numb! She is showing off her teeth before they are gone!

Unfortunately our dentist does the old fashion way to get numb....SHOTS! YUCK! Luckily they were SOOOO good, and made her first experience getting shots amazing! Brooklyn was a rock star and didn't even cry. In fact, she was giggling....a nervous giggle, of course! I didn't even cry either! :)

TA DA!!!!! Two teeth gone, and the tooth fairy comes tonight!

Going to the Dentist.....EEEK!

So I took my sweet baby girl to the dentist last week because she has her two bottom front teeth coming in, and her baby teeth are not even wiggly. They just seemed to be coming in so far back, that it concerned me, and I made a dentist appointment right away. WELL, the dreaded news I was hoping wouldn't come, came! The dentist said we need to pull those TWO baby teeth out because the new ones aren't even touching the baby ones. You have to have the new teeth touch the baby teeth to make them loose. So, I made that dreaded appointment for THIS Thursday. Prayers, please! This will NOT be fun...especially since they told me they numb her the old fashion way....with shots! EEEEEKKK! I think I am going to cry harder than her!

Saturday was Greenville's St. Patty's Day festivities. FUN! FUN! We had a blast the whole day, and can't wait until next year to do it all again!

GREAT PEOPLE

FUN GAMES

Open House

Last Thursday was the kids Open House at school. This is where they get to show off their school work and it gives me a glimpse into their day each day at school. I love this day! They get pretty excited to show off their stuff, but I think I get just as excited to see them get excited! I love these kids more than anything, and am beyond proud of them!

Brooklyn reading to me about her dinosaur

Reading a poem

Blake showing off his work

Blake's project was to study an artist, and do a report and presentation on the artist. For part of his presentation, he painted a picture similar to the style of his artist. This was his construction site he painted that was hanging up in the hallway for Open House!

Blake's clay pot he made in Art class. Sorry Brooklyn...looks like I'm not a great photographer, and cut yours out of the picture. :(

Lakeside Live

Brooklyn was on the morning announcements at school. She has been practicing her parts all week! She did great!!! Can you tell she likes to be on camera by the GINORMOUS smile on her face the entire time she is on camera?!?!?!

Lost and Found

Meet "Trixie". As the kids and I were taking our walk, we see this dog running down the street with no one following her. We called her over, and she was very skiddish at first. We looked for tags, and the only tag on her is one that says she was spayed and neutered at VCA. I tried to call the number on that, but only got a recording. So, we managed to get her to our house and give her some water. We went back out a little later to try to see if anyone was looking or calling for her.....and NOTHING! SO, looks like we are having a little slumber party tonight. I just don't have the heart to take her to the shelter. We made up signs that we are going to post on all the community mailboxes tomorrow. I hope we find her owner. She is a super sweet dog that minds very well, so I know her family is looking for her, and probably heart-broken as we speak. She is definitely in good hands! As you can see from the picture, she has made herself comfortable on the bed.....UH OH! The kids have already named her Trixie! Let's see how tonight goes! :) I will keep ya posted!

I have a sign, I have a sign!

Yep, I gave in, but I am SO excited about it! I already saw the weeds starting to come up in my yard, and I am bound and determined not to spend my spring and summer pulling weeds! Pulling weeds could be the death of me! So, I caved in and called Tru Green to take care of it for me for the year! I think this will be a great investment! And I do have to say that when I got home and saw the little sign in my yard, I was sooooo happy! Let the treatments begin!

Bachelor Watching Party

Last night was the finale of the Bachelor. My friend Shawnte had everyone over to watch. I am not happy with the outcome, but knew it was coming. I heard from several people how Vienna has been spotted in Dallas.....BLAH! And now they said last night that she is moving here. We all want to boycott! She is not a good choice for him. I just feel so bad for Tenly!!!! She is such a sweet girl. BUT......

look who is the next Bachelorette!!!

YEA! She will make a great bachelorette! I can't wait to watch! OH the drama! LOVE IT!!!!
